Before buying: the checklist

- In dusty areas, check the air filter twice as often as recommended
- Beware of counterfeit filters: light cartridge, crude printing

FAQ
How often should the air filter be changed in Cameroon?
Check it every 5,000 km in dusty areas and change it as soon as it's dirty — often twice as early as the manufacturer's interval.
